WIMBLEDON
Who plays today at Wimbledon 2024? Gauff, Paul, Shelton, Tiafoe, Keys…
The 137th edition of the Wimbledon Championships gets underway today, Monday July 1, 2024. Check out the full order of play in SW19.
Coco Gauff headlines the US’s involvement at Wimbledon today, with a number of Americans in opening-day action at the All England Club.
Which Americans are in action in the women’s singles today?
Gauff, who is the No. 2 seed in the women’s singles tournament, faces compatriot Carolina Dolehide in the day’s final first-round match on Centre Court. The 20-year-old, who reached the semi-finals at both the Australian Open and the French Open earlier in 2024, is this year bidding to progress beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career.
No. 12 seed Madison Keys opens up her campaign against Italy’s Martina Trevisan on No. 3 Court, and 19th seed Emma Navarro takes on China’s Wang Qiang on Court 16.
Of the unseeded US players on today’s women’s schedule, Emina Bektas was set to come up against the biggest-name opposition. Bektas, 31, had been handed an opening-round match-up with No. 3 seed Aryna Sabalenka on No. 1 Court - but a shoulder injury has now forced the Belarusian to pull out of Wimbledon. Bektas will instead play Russian Erika Andreeva, a lucky loser from tournament qualifying. American interest on day one of the women’s singles is rounded off by run-outs for Sloane Stephens, McCartney Kessler, Peyton Stearns and Taylor Townsend.
Which US players are on today’s men’s singles schedule?
In the men’s singles, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton are the US’s most notable participants today. Seeded 12th in London, Paul meets Spain’s Pedro Martínez on No. 3 Court. Meanwhile, 14th seed Shelton kicks off his campaign with a clash against Italy’s Mattia Bellucci on Court 18.
Paul, who was the men’s singles champion at Queen’s Club last month, has never been beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon. Shelton’s best performance so far at the tournament was a second-round finish last year.
The other US men’s seed scheduled to play today is Frances Tiafoe, who also faces Italian opposition. The 26-year-old, who is seeded 29th at Wimbledon, meets Matteo Arnaldi on Court 15. Among the unseeded Americans in the draw in the UK capital, Aleksander Kovacevic has the stand-out fixture today: he goes up against No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev on No. 1 Court. Californians Alex Michelsen and Brandon Nakashima are also in action.
What other notable matches are being played today?
The defending men’s champion, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, begins his title defence in the opening match on Centre Court today. The No. 2 seed at the year’s third grand slam tournament, Alcaraz plays Estonia’s Mark Lajal. The men’s top seed is also due to play today: Italy’s Jannik Sinner faces Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann in the last of the day’s matches on No. 1 Court.
